Lineage

Ever since the alliance of 6 Schilling lines
with different coat-of-arms in Breslau (now Wroclaw) on 15th
August 1556, including the ancient noble line of Schilling
von Lahnstein from the Central Rhine area which died out in
1608, there has been a family association which was
resurrected as the "Association of the House of
Schilling" in 1924 and entered in the Association
Register at the Local Courts of Dresden and Breslau in 1927.

Since 1954 (when it was re-formed and entered in the
Association Register at the Local Court of Niederlahnstein),
it has consisted of the "Western Branch", which
abandoned the hereditary title in the 16th
century, the Barons von Schilling as the "Eastern Branch" and finally the Freiherren Schilling v. Canstatt
as the "Southern Branch".
